I'm not sure "The Inquirer" would be as fun to read, then;-) Its one of the few "approved" websites we can read from work. Just as long as the Vole stays out of the open sauce...
That could be. I still don't get why PDF is so popular, since the fonts (at least on a screen) are so much inferior to any other screen fonts. If there was a bit more kerning, perhaps it wouldn't be so bad. I know that I have to live with pdf docs, but the fuzzy fonts make my eyes swim.:(
Don't be fooled. The majority of FOSS software users aren't the RUTE-thumpin' Stallmanites you think they (I mean we) are. Most of us are too busy enjoying our computers, or helping others with theirs, to bother climbing onto a soapbox and preach that kind of crap.
Agreed. Thank you for pointing that out. It depends on their future roles, I guess (I am just thinking about Linus's reasons for not looking at the SCO code)
Actually, they may face difficulty, depending on what their job was. If they are developers, they may have trouble working for a Linux-related company, simply because of what they know about Unix. But then again, maybe not.
You forgot two words, I think. Between "...large variety of" and "snack foods to fill...", shouldn't you have inserted "reasonably priced"? After all, Blockbuster also has snack foods. However, you need to take out a second mortgage to afford a bag of potato chips!
Perhaps your parents will be woo-ed by comanies such as Rogers, who offer the broadband entry drug, known as "light" and "ultralight". They get you hooked on the 64k connection and convince you of the easy "transition" to a higher speed......or, your parents will be too smart for them and remain on dialup.:-)
LSB is being payed attention to, at least in a summary manner. I noticed that even many of the changes to Gentoo's portage and some file locations were to conform more closely to LSB. This is coming from a non-binary distribution. Perhaps it will be a good thing.
Yes, you have a point. I should have mentioned that I support such an idea my self. I think that Yahoo's idea is a good one. I was trying to point out that it shouldn't be solely an email provider's responsibility to provide this type of authentification technique for a bank. I think that when a customer begins internet banking for the first time, their bank is responsible to inform them clearly and precisely how they will be communicated with online.
What's the old adage? "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." (metric=28.3g of prevention worth 0.453kg cure)
The "phishing" scams are a real worry, but banks don't send email, generally. You usually have a mailbox off your account page where you can read/send messages. So, what we really need for this problem is a lotta neon! bright signs everywhere, tell people not to respond to email from their bank;-)

Just another example of their lame attemt at lock in. Sony, you suck!

Site owners are responsible for their content. If they don't want it cached, they can specify in the robots.txt

You probably assumed right. I still don't understand why we settle for Adobe's crappy blurry fonts and their bloated files. Why not HTML?
Now, THAT's funny!
Who could mod this as funny? My sympathies to you and your friend.
Awwwww, c'mon! I left the house! (Pizza place won't deliver this far....)

Litigation? Welfare? Isn't that the same thing in this case?

That depends on the units of measurement. Its it kiloBITS/sec or kiloBYTES/sec ? Many clients can show either.
XP is finished? So I can stop the beta test?
They're not down. They are just having difficulties with the severe incerease in traffic.
